In Portugal, unlike other countries, there are no sworn translators. To certify a translation, so that a translated document is legally valid, it is necessary to make its certification at the organisations empowered to do so (namely Notary’s Offices and Attorneys). That is why since I moved back to Portugal I have been working with an attorney for the certification of my translations. He also proofreads some of my legal translation work.

I considered a certification when I was just starting out as a freelancer, but since I do not work on certifiable documents anyway, I am glad that I saved myself the time and expenditure. If I remember correctly, I was asked for a certified translation twice in my entire career, with neither job sounding all that lucrative, so no regrets so far.

I am certified by the Ministry of Justice in Romania. Back in 2009, this certification process was free, conditioned by passing an examination with the Ministry of Culture. Having a language-related degree was required to exempt you from this examination, which I did not have. This certification has served me well a few times in my career, but honestly, I could have done without it.

The experience of Portugal is similar to Tanzania. There are no sworn translators or interpreters. However, we have a Swahili certifying agency named BAKITA for documents needing legal validity. For other translations, there is no such a requirement.

There are no sworn translators/interpreters in El Salvador.

I have had little occasion to have my translations certified. I used to have a template in which I certified that had a degree in Portuguese/Spanish (I had a dual major and accumulated many more credits than I needed) and x number of years as a professional translator. For 25 years or so, I have working mainly working on long and book-length documents, manuals, and journal articles.
